Tomb Raider launched with an impressive 1 million copies sold within the first 48-hours of it’s initial release earlier this year, and it appears that a version for the game will be available on the mac platform very soon!

Update: A request for a confirmation statement was sent out to Feral Interactive, and they shared the following:

“We are unable to share details of our future release schedule until a game is officially announced via our website. This means that we are unable to confirm or deny that Feral Interactive will be bringing this title to Mac.”

It’s evident that they’re the ones who will be bringing this fantastic game to the Mac. We’ll just have to wait until they officially announce this title.

“We’re excited to bring Tomb Raider to the Mac, and in doing so introduce a new audience to Lara Croft’s origin story,” said Darrell Gallagher, Head of Product Development and Studios at Square Enix. “This is one more step on the road to achieving everything we wanted with the game.”

Pricing, system requirements, and Mac multiplayer details will be revealed closer to the release date.

The Tomb Raider reboot released for the PS3, Xbox 360 & PC earlier this year and has finally sold more than 4 million copies world wide. This makes this the fastest selling game in the Tomb Raider franchise, according to a statement released by Darrell Gallagher. Gallagher is the former studio head of the Tomb Raider development team at Crystal Dynamics and is now the head of product development and studios for Square Enix.

Tomb Raider remains one of the biggest selling releases of 2013 in many major territories with more than 4 million units sold worldwide so far.

However, a few months after Tomb Raider’s release, Square Enix announced that the game failed to reach predicted sales targets. Crystal Dynamics defended Tomb Raider‘s sales, stating the reboot had the “most successful launch” of any game this year in addition to setting a new record for the highest sales in the franchise’s history.

In a statement on Square Enix’s official blog, North American CEO Phil Rogers revealed that Crystal Dynamics is well into development on a next generation Tomb Raider sequel!

“Square Enix is in production with a number of next generation projects, including Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III, which were announced at this year’s E3, and Thief coming in 2014. I am also excited to reveal that we are well into development on a next-generation Tomb Raider sequel – something you may have heard about recently!”

Crystal head, Darrell Gallagher also released a statement on the official Tomb Raider blog.

“Hi – you may have read today that a next-generation sequel to Tomb Raider is in the works. We’re very excited to confirm that the team has started working on telling the next chapter in Lara’s tale. It’s still early days, so I’m afraid I can’t provide any further details for now save my assurance that we’re not resting on our laurels and acclaim from Tomb Raider’s recent successes, but working hard to raise the bar even higher and re-affirm the faith you’ve shown.”

I’m super excited for next-gen Lara!!! I hope Crystal Dynamics can make Lara Croft’s character model look similar to the turning point Lara. I can’t wait to see what Crystal comes up with for the next chapter in Lara’s saga.

Back in late May during London’s MCM Comic-Con convention in a press-interview, Camilla Luddington discussed her part in playing the role of Lara Croft, and the possible opportunity to sign on as Lara Croft in the upcoming Tomb Raider film reboot produced by GK Films & MGM.

Both parties released a statement about the current project in the works:

GK Films had previously acquired the TOMB RAIDER film rights in 2011 from interactive entertainment company, Square Enix Ltd. King will serve as producer and development of the first film will begin immediately. No casting has been announced.

“Graham is one of the premier producers in this industry and I am delighted to be working with him on this exciting franchise. We look forward to developing more projects together in the future,” said Barber.

King said, “I am thrilled to partner with Gary and his MGM team on rebooting this successful TOMB RAIDER film franchise. The enthusiasm over the recent game release is very encouraging and we can’t wait to bring it to the big screen.”

Female First interviewed Keeley Hawes at the end of April, after the new Tomb Raider game had launched a month prior. Female First asked Hawes a series of questions regarding her current and previous projects.

“Today I’ve been talking about doing the voice of Lara Croft. I mean Michael Gambon does voice overs all the time; it’s not something to be sniffed at now at all. We can theatre, TV and films all at the same time. More so than in the States, where for years you were either a TV actor or a film actor. That’s great for me; it would be a dull old world if you only ever did one thing.”

Talking about Tomb Raider, were you a little surprised that they didn’t have you back for the new game?

“No, I knew they weren’t going to. I did three games, which is quite a lot in that that world. They take long to make and I’d done documentaries about her, so I was quite happy to let her go. It needed a freshening up though, and the fact that they went back to the beginning is a very clever thing to do. It introduces her to a whole new audience and I’m proud to have been such a big part of the franchise for so long.”

I’ve always been a big fan of Keeley Hawes voicing the role of Lara Croft, although it was time for Keeley to pass down her Duel Pistols to Camilla Luddington 😉

GameTap celebrated Tomb Raider’s 10 year anniversary by releasing a series of retrospective documentaries over a course of Nine weeks. The entire documentary with a 42-minute running time was also included on a bonus DVD with the Tomb Raider: Anniversary Collector’s Edition released in Europe.

The documentary was narrated by Keeley Hawes, British TV/film star and the former voice of Lara Croft, (Legend, Anniversary, Underworld, & Lara Croft: and The Guardian of Light)
